of the P8SAA motherboard. The P8SAA supports single Intel
Pentium
®
4 Processor (the Prescott Processor) in the 775-Land Grid Array
Package at a system bus speed of 800 MHz. The Pentium 4 Processor in
the 775-Land Grid Array Package is housed in a Flip-Chip Land Grid Array
(FC-LGA4) package that interfaces with the motherboard via an LGA775
socket. The package consists of a processor core mounted on a substrate
land-carrier. An integrated heat spreader (IHS) is attached to the package
substrate and core and serves as the contacting surface for processor
component thermal solutions, such as a heatsink. Please refer to the moth-
erboard specifications pages on our web site (http://www.supermicro.com/
